COSTA, Maico Fernando; PERICO, Waldir  and  SOUZA, William Azevedo de. From the disciplinary device to the intercessor device. Rev. Psicol. UNESP [online]. 2019, vol.18, n.spe, pp. 161-178. ISSN 1984-9044.

This text has as a motto to characterize the notion of "device" from a reading that understands it as everything that produces assemblages towards the production of a singularizing subjectivation. In order to reach this goal, we used the theoretical exercises of Agamben and Costa - Rosa, authors who adopt a singular definition of the concept of device, formerly coined by Foucault and later by worked by Del euze. Agamben brings the idea of a device as a set of strategies circumscribed in relations, games of forces, which can produce capture networks and a determining type of (dis) subjectivation, so it will treat to desecrate the disciplinary devices. Costa - R osa adds to the concept of device the concept of intercessor - originating from Deleuze, but reread from psychoanalysis and historical materialism - formalizing, or rather instrumentalizing, what Agamben proposes in defending the device. Thus, the two auth ors seem to formalize a bet on the perception of a device that recognizes as necessary the production of singularized subjectivities.

Keywords : Intercessor Device; Disciplinary Device; singularizing subjectivation.
